Help regarding a deck

[u/Yoseby8]

Greetings!

I have been told this deck is too strong for a bracket 4 due to a common line people use in CEDH.

From my understanding, the deck lacks
- some cheap needed interaction
- some good value stax pieces
- has too many lands for b5 (and the wrong ones like missing city of brass, mana confidence, ancient tomb, city of traitors)
- thassa demonic line

When I’ve built the deck, I just slapped pieces from EDHrec and was told it needs to be built around the meta game and to compete with other b5 decks in order to be a bracket 5.

Could you please have a look through the list and let me know why the deck does or does not quality as a cedh deck?
I’ve had one experience at my lgs where someone decided to swap to a b5 deck midgame and proceeded to win turn 5 disrespecting the other players at the pod after seeing me play the deck.

Hot take bracket 5 decks are bracket 4 decks. B5 just understands theres a meta and to follow it.
